| 0:00.0 | This is an I-Heart podcast. |
| 0:02.3 | Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:04.4 | It is Thursday, December 4th. |
| 0:06.8 | This is the warning. |
| 0:09.4 | In Washington, once again, up is down, down is up. |
| 0:14.4 | Mirror, mirror on the wall. |
| 0:17.6 | Who's the greatest Trump sycophant of them all? Well, today it's Little Marco. The man who quoted |
| 0:26.6 | scripture in a thousand tweets while embracing the devil, Marco Rubio, a man who, had he been in Cuba in |
| 0:36.3 | 1959, would have been dressed in olive, drab green, carrying |
| 0:41.5 | Castro's coat or raincoat. By the time this evil little Marco gets to the end of his time as |
| 0:48.5 | Secretary of State, the amount of suffering that he is directly responsible for all around the world, starving children, |
| 0:58.4 | diseased parents, millions of lives will be lost that were going to be saved. Not if we did something, |
| 1:08.8 | but only if we just kept doing what we were doing. |
| 1:13.2 | Nothing new. |
| 1:14.7 | The richest, most powerful nation in the world, the hope of mankind turned off the faucet that |
| 1:23.9 | flowed from it. |
| 1:25.4 | American mercy, American decency, respect for humanity, respect for dignity |
| 1:31.7 | of all human beings. |
| 1:33.7 | Marco Rubio used to believe in these things, or at least he said he did. |
| 1:38.3 | Donald Trump is a political conman. |
| 1:40.6 | He's trying to convince people that he's something that he's not, and he's won the confidence |
| 1:43.9 | of a lot of people, and he's trying to take over the party of Reagan and the conservative movement. We can't let that happen. Here's what I'm never going to give up on. I am not going to allow this conman to take control of the party of Ronald Reagan or to be the head of the conservative movement. We're not, we're going to fight as long and as hard as we can to keep that from happening because the stakes are too high. This country needs a strong and vibrant Reagan conservative party and Donald Trump will never have that. If he's our nominee, it's not going to happen. And I will never give up the fight. I will never give up the fight to ensure that the party of Reagan remains a conservative party, not one headed up by a conman. |
